The report also provides comprehensive information on the key trends affecting the landscape of this market. The major end-users of the market are vertical markets, health clubs, and homes. The main countries included in the analysis are the U.S. and Canada.

The major driver for the North America stationary cycle market is the increasing obesity rates and obesity-related diseases (diabetes and cardiac diseases) that have forced people to opt for regular exercise. This awareness is leading to an increase in the number of fitness centers, which, in turn, urges the development of the fitness equipment such as stationary cycles. Better results can be achieved in lesser time due to technological advancements in fitness equipment, which motivate health conscious people to buy this technologically advanced equipment. For instance, in 2012, Life Fitness, Inc. launched an open API (Application Programming Interface). This feature allows the programmers to use the fitness equipment code to create apps for the customers to download.

The U.S. commands the larger share of 87.7% of the North America stationary cycle market, followed by Canada. Weight loss management activities are predominant in the U.S. Increasing obesity rates are propelling the growth of the weight management industry, in turn impacting the stationary cycle market. In 2012, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reported that the United States was the most obese country in the developed world and 36.0% of the U.S. population was obese.
